The Globe has a story today about the evolution of Davis Square and my son Nick’s project of finding out what happened to the kids who made the beautiful T station tiles when they were in elementary school.

The Globe’s article describes a fascinating project that raises intriguing questions about the interplay of Somerville school history/transit/urban space/and city demographics. I love the stories behind the tiles, particularly in the way they give voice to our city’s recent past and possible future.

Thanks for sharing this.
